Peeling away layers of the written narrative—from sentences to phrases to words to the alphabet, we discover the narrative image of the letterform** itself. What is written, is also drawn.
The letterform, stripped of its utilitarian functions and grammatical compositions is visual poetry – a lyrical composition of geometry, tradition, ink and expression. At the Arthouse, we explore image-making with the drawn letterform through the work of six Indian artists, graphic designers, type designers and calligraphers from India.
** LETTERFORM (ˈletərˌfôrm) // noun
